Divided By Color part 2

“As it happens, white Americans express considerably more enthusiasm for the principle of racial equality than they do for policies that are designed to bring the principle to life…By the late 1970s, for example, most whites endorsed the idea that black and white children should attend school together, but only one in four said that the federal government should see to it that this actually happens.”

Don't look at me! I only express enthusiasm for philately.
